Japanese Black Pine:The skinny one pt1

This is a relative's tree grown from seed.Before these pictures were taken all non~essential branches were cut off,and then it was re~potted into this temporary pot,and left alone for a year to recover from being severely root bound.This is only it's first styling,and i tried to make a natural looking "Scot's pine" image which i might see around here,it works for me as this is what i see on my trip's to and from work every day.It still needs extensive work,the crown is made of shoots all trained upwards to give it a natural appearance,instead of the typical bonsai apex's of flattened shoots.A picture in it's new pot will follow when it's settled in.

About Me

Bonsai has become a major part of my life,more than a hobby,better than an obbsession,and it all starts on the hill.Going out for a day on the hill with good friends,never knowing what may be just around the corner,the laughs the tears the envy when Tony has just found another cracker!
This is only the start of a never ending journey though,i may be young~ish in bonsai terms,but even i have tree's that i may never see to full maturity!
Every day i try to learn a bit more,to reach my goals in life but the more you learn the more there is to forget,a great piece of work this year will look amateur~ish next year,will the journey ever end?
